Every Upcoming HBO TV Series Of 2017 - Ranked By Anticipation

20. Animals - Season 2

HBO gave Animals an immediate two-season order, a decision they must be regretting after the dismal lack of quality in the first.

There's not really a lot to the show, which is basically an animated sketch series. It revolves around creators Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano being given a plot outline, and they then riff on it, and it's animated into a show with anthropomorphic animals.

It gets some solid guest stars (Cobie Smulders, Ellie Kemper etc), but it's all a bit messy and can grow tedious fairly quickly. Still, it's got a second season, so fair play to them for managing that.
